How to use the REST API to gather information about the IBM Storage Archive Enterprise Edition system.

The following topics provide the information that you need to use the REST API to manage resources.

The request URLs that you need are provided, and the response data that you receive is defined.

These requests are asynchronous, so they will all return a status and a task_id which you can use to monitor the progress of the task doing a GET request (see REST API task information) or running the eeadm tape show command.
Status codes
  • 202 = Task created
  • 400 = Bad request
  • 401 = Unauthorized
  • 404 = Not found
  • 500 = Server error

Any other status indicates that an error was detected.
